This course will provide an interdisciplinary introduction to Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP); an experiential psychotherapy approach that incorporates horses in the treatment of social-emotional and behavioral problems in human beings. Course participants will explore the theoretical foundations and underlying assumptions of this hands-on treatment approach; identify the role and function of each treatment team member; and apply the principles of EAP to practical problems. The course format will include direct instruction; class discussions; and lab activities with all activities taking place during the scheduled class time at the Equestrian Center.
